[2.6] CI FrostBlades Raider/Pathfinder [Permafreeze T15 bosses, 4:17 Shaper Run, 1:49 Chayula timer]

I think i got everything except when i play, i usually shield charge into a mob and start going HAM.

BUT i keep getting stun locked. I can't move at all ill mash my keyboard but keeps getting stunned.

especially when the enemey uses like ball lightning, im 100% guaranteed dead.

Is there a cheap way to negate stun lock?

only the enchant on boots?

This is a bit funny, troll idea. But do you think using voidheart (foil) could somehow benefit us - especially single target?

Probably not :P we're dealing pure elemental damage + some chaos damage so bleed won't have any effect. Poison will have some effect coz of our chaos damage but it won't be significant enough to be worth using over a good WED rare.

Heya I personally used Valyrium.

You can also use Kiara's or get the enchant if you wish but I found Valyrium the cheapest option.

In your Non-skyforth raider builds, wouldnt it be better to remove the projectile/aspd nodes around the starting ranger, take the 2 dex nodes and then take another jewel socket around the CI area with 3 freed up points?
We get 26% Projectile damage and 16% attack speed. A good jewel is better than that isnt it? Especially since the Projectile damage doesnt help with the single target

Speaking of projectile damage, I aug regal'd this jewel and it turned out pretty nice for this build, but do either or both of these crit multis apply to the projectile portion?

15% increased Physical Damage
+16% to Critical Strike Multiplier with One Handed Melee Weapons
+15% to Melee Critical Strike Multiplier

Can we get an SS of your current resistances please

Technically speaking you can't give up the starting point, which is the 16% incr. projectile damage. If you choose to give up the other 4 nodes, you will lose 16% attack speed and 10% projectile damage and gain only 2 points. I don't think you can grab another jewel socket within 2 points though, so you will probably have to give up Cruel Kraityn's bonus for the extra point to grab a jewel socket, you'll end up trading 24% attack speed and 10% projectile damage for a good jewel.

Now, a good jewel with 8% attack speed and 25%+ crit multi may outdps the 24% attack speed version slightly, but it is such a small margin that it will probably not be worth the trade, especially since losing that attack speed will also affect your shield charge. Nonetheless, it is an option that can be considered, definitely.

That's a decent jewel! The first crit multi mod applies to both the melee and proj portion. The second one only applies to the melee portion. Don't fret too much over that too much though as its primarily the melee portion that is the priority, so that's fine.

Heya, its in the original post under Stats. The res are all from gear. No flask was used.


On a side note, I've also uploaded another Shaper Run. DPS gear is largely the same. Main difference is that I've replaced cold pen/hypothermia with Elemental Focus for the Shaper fights. The kill speed is faster. Also featuring perma-freezing of the mini-bosses, which are a fair representation of T15 map bosses. Therefore, in case you were wondering if Frost Blades can perma freeze map bosses up to T15, the answer is a resounding yes.

guys, anyone can confirm their dmg with so-so claws around lvl 81? I have 60,6k dps in HO with hatred and ice golem. I dont even have lvl 20 gems and yet to pick any jewel nodes apart from cold penetration ones (2x). but it feels like i am several times lower in dps then invalesco (72k with ele focus linked).

claws were 2 ex which was not such a bad price and any better ones are 8ex+.

I just wonder where to get that that massive damage that you guys have. maybe if i reach lvl 90 + get 3 jewels i will get closer but i wonder if that makes such a difference. can check my profile and tell me where to go from now?

atm i am saving up for skyforth (got like 33 ex), then i will swap valirium with +phys dmg ring and also the other ring with a better +phys dmg ring. i want to buy a btter amu with phys. dmg in it too but for now i am good with what i have and i doubt it will make a huge diff. anyway (+ i need all those stats)

also a question regarding heralds. Is herald of ash better then herald of ice for single target DPS? ASH gives you +fire damage in % but ice gives you increased ice dmg + #ice dmg which feels better for single target dps. also can put on ele weakness and curse enemies like this.

and one last thing. are the gloves with curse enemies with ele. weakness better then vulnerability?

thx

1. You do not have a 40% Frost Blades damage helm.
2. Your other ring besides Valyrium doesn't have flat phys or wed.
3. 4 Mod jewels with phys dmg, multi, and attack speed add lots of dps.
4. Your amulet has multi but no flat phys or wed.
5. Yes, herald of ash is single target dps than herald of ice since it's 15% of phys dmg added as fire damage compared to just added flat cold dmg.
6. Ele weakness is way better than vulnerability since we don't deal ANY phys dmg at all due to conversion.

ok got my boots. put on better rings, need to find that +dmg amu and somehow get back those +stats that i have on it. Also look for another steel ring but for now its ok i guess since its 39% WED. think I should keep the ring or get another steel. I will look for better steel then one i have but i need cash since spent all on boots

so i will level it up more but i still dont see myself getting from current 84k in HO with auras to 350k as its over 3 times more which sounds impossible.

edit: can you suggest what i need to work on now? i can try lab to get an enchant but dunno how lucky will i be. got like 150C so is there anything i can get to make this stronger without a need to change this in future again? apart from levels and adding jewels? (later i plan to get 21/20 gems). something that will make most difference and i dont have it atm.

thanks

I'd look for steel rings with flat phys and wed. For example:

If you only have 150c I'd say work on getting a better amulet. Something like
